Laxman General Store

Laxman General Store sits right in the middle of Indra Ganj here in Lashkar. We have been here for years, watching Gwalior change around us while we mostly stay the same. The shelves are all packed with everything from soap bars to packets of biscuits and some dal. It is a bit crowded inside because we try to keep whatever people might need for their kitchens. Sometimes the boxes are stacked a bit high, but we know where everything is. Our address is 474001 and we are usually open from early morning until late at night. The street outside can get quite noisy with all the traffic and people walking by to the market. We spend a lot of time weighing out sugar or flour for the ladies who live in the nearby lanes. It is not a supermarket where you take a trolley; you just tell us what you want and we get it for you. Some days are very busy, especially before festivals when everyone wants sweets or extra oil. We don't have any big advertisements. People just know Laxman General Store is here when they run out of milk or need a new broom. Most of our customers are more like friends now since we see them every single day. It is just a simple way of living, making sure the neighborhood has what it needs without any fuss or fancy talk.
